Quoted:
No way for a civilian to own one? Seems kind of crazy a civilian can't own a light when we can own machine guns and suppressors with the proper paper work and background checks. Quoted:
Quoted:
Be an authorized agency. Or grey market with zero warranty support. The FDA takes eye-safe lasers seriously. You can't see the IR beam, and can cause damage without knowing. Hop on over to the night vision sub forum. There are civvie-legal IR lasers, albeit at reduced power output. |

Be an authorized agency. Or grey market with zero warranty support. There is probably a big auction site that has a few. That. For the sake of aiming a commercial .07mW IR laser will work fine up to distances where you would want a dedicated NV rifle scope anyway. The only thing 25mW does better is illuminate at LONG distances (think miles) and it allows you to zero your laser with the pinhole cover on in daylight. A clever person could just line up their commercial laser with a pre-zeroed day optic. Check out the Night Vision forum: Night Vision |

How does one go about to acquire one of these guys: http://tnvc.com/shop/atpial-anpeq-15-advanced-target-pointerilluminator-aiming-laser/ Why not ask them and find out? I'm sure if you are eligible, then they can take care of you. If you aren't eligable, we'll then... |

Quoted: Make one, buy grey market, (and hope it's not stolen), or buy one of the reduced power ones. If you don't need to designate targets for hellfire strikes, the reduced power ones are probably fine.  On a serious not, it looks like china will be my go to. I hate buying chinese, I would fill out any paper work needed to be able to own an American one (short of become a dealer) |

Quoted: I can't even see much beyond 400 yards in the dark, and never shoot that far. The 0.7mW from my OTAL is more than adequate for me. |

Quoted:
To be fair, all I have is red lasers and I'm less than impressed with them. I do alot of night hunting and they are hard to pick up fast in a bright spot light on a running animal. Is green really that much more visible even at 5mW? Quoted:
